As a psychologist and astrology expert, I have had the privilege of helping countless people understand and overcome the emotional challenges they face in their lives.
Throughout my career, I have noticed an interesting pattern: individuals born under the sign of Scorpio seem to be particularly susceptible to mood disorders.
This revelation has piqued my curiosity and prompted me to delve deeper into the connection between astrology and mental health.
In this article, we will explore the reasons behind this propensity and how we can help Scorpios find emotional balance and well-being.
I once had a patient, Mark, who was a Scorpio and was going through a very difficult time in his life.
He had lost his job, his love relationship was in ruins and he felt he had no clear purpose in his life.
His mood was at rock bottom and he was experiencing symptoms of depression.
During our sessions, I could see how Mark's emotional intensity, characteristic of Scorpios, played a crucial role in his mood.
He would often dive into dark, negative thoughts, feeling trapped in a bottomless pit.
One of the techniques I used with Mark was to help him channel that emotional intensity in a more positive way.
I suggested that he start writing in an emotional journal, where he could freely express his deepest feelings and thoughts.
This allowed him to release his emotional baggage and gain a greater understanding of himself.
In addition, I recommended that he start practicing meditation and mindfulness to learn to control and balance his emotions.
This helped him find moments of peace and tranquility in the midst of the emotional chaos he was experiencing.
Over time, Marcos began to notice significant changes in his mood.
As he immersed himself in his emotional transformation process, he began to experience greater mental clarity and a sense of rebirth. Finally, Marcos was able to find a new purpose in his life.
He decided to take on a personal project that he was passionate about and, through his emotional healing process, he was able to rebuild his love relationship and find a new job that truly motivated him.
This experience with Marcos taught me that Scorpios, despite their susceptibility to mood disorders, have the ability to transform their pain into personal growth.
With the right support and a willingness to face their deepest emotions, they can find the inner strength to overcome any challenge that comes their way.
I am a psychologist and astrology expert, and I was lucky enough to be born with a sun in Virgo and a moon in Scorpio.
Your moon sign is responsible for your emotional realm, while the sun is more related to your behavior and how you present yourself to others.
Throughout my life, I have met many people with the sign of Scorpio, especially within my family environment.
In addition, I have personally experienced the challenging combination of anxiety and depression with my Sun in Virgo and Moon in Scorpio in my own birth chart.
Water signs are more prone to depression due to their high emotional sensitivity.
Water is an element that invites us to explore the deeper emotional and subconscious currents of life, which influence our actions and behaviors in our day to day lives.
Scorpios are known for their secretive and mysterious nature.
They may appear to be good-natured, happy and calm, but in reality they are very practical and efficient in their work.
In their early stages of life, Scorpios may have difficulty connecting with their emotions because they are often born into situations where this type of behavior is not valued and may even be considered "wrong".
Learning to accept and channel their emotions can be frightening for them, as they have a depth that is often not considered "normal" in our society.
However, it is important to remember that normality does not exist, it is what is present that prevails.
Scorpios have often experienced trauma in their lives due to being seen as different, which can affect their sense of stability in the world, something they deeply crave.
As a result, they may find themselves in codependent relationships as a desperate way to seek stability in their naturally chaotic aquatic nature.
Despite their apparent strength, scorpions are very sensitive and can be easily hurt. This can lead them to lash out at others or sabotage themselves.
Being a Scorpio is not easy, but it can be better managed when you understand your own nature and flow with the currents of life rather than trying to control others. Scorpios can have a tendency to be controlling and rigid, which can confuse others, but this is because they feel things more deeply and intensely than other people.
They are also very practical and often know how to do things more efficiently than others.
In trying to suppress this part of themselves in order to fit into society, Scorpios can face mood disorders such as bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder and depression. In addition, they often have highly developed psychic and intuitive abilities and may be attracted to the arts, theater, dance, sexual and creative activities, as well as the occult.
To combat the mood swings that are common in Scorpios, it is essential to have a close circle of friends whom they can trust completely. When their trust is betrayed, it can be difficult to regain.
They also need stability in their environment and to follow a structured routine to balance their chaotic nature.
In addition, it is important for them to have time to relax, be alone, reflect and flow with the currents of life.
Artistic and creative expression is fundamental to their happiness and well-being.
